Chapter 21 - "Mark of the Beast" - Part 2

I think the weapon is an RPG or grenade launcher. Something capable of big damage in a bind.

Would one of those fit in a wall safe? Seems like those would be a little too large to store in something like that. And assuming they are the ones who raided the Military base, are those the types of items that would be kept there? Seems like that would be mentioned by Angel, Saul or Michael as an option to have a high explosive at the ready.

If its from Burts wall safe...anything is possible.

That would depend on Scratch's definition of "A Safe." Remember Burt called his weapons room a safe too.
What could the weapon be?

Pippin ---- what in the monkey &&&&&&& a football friday hell is the deal. I really gave the tower folks more credit in sniffing out something that doesnt smell right. Yes I know that I as the listener am privvy to more info than they are at the moment and have heard things they have not but why would they not be a little more cautious with this guy. All kinds of odd things are happening and this guy just strolls up all beat to hell and they take him in and clean him up, which is the humane thing to do. But am I not correct in thinking that he is already up on a higher floor and closer to where he can stir up some trouble if he is indeed a plant as we are led to assume? I need several of you to set me straight on this as I can't yell at the episode anymore than i have about this.

They definitely haven't finished vetting him. I'm pretty sure there will be more suspicion from Michael, Angel, and others. However, at the time, they have more pressing matters. I think they are keeping a close eye on him.

But here's a devil's advocate type of theory. :P

What if the bruises aren't from the mallers? What if Pippen is a slow turner like Tanya had described? (Our first description of the zombies are that they were covered in bruises)

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

Weren't they described as "sores?" Anyway, those were the first cases of infected and Pippen is talking in complete sentences.
Tonya is experienced enough to be able to tell the difference between bruises caused by blunt force trauma (hemotoma) and someone with a disorder and she's pretty intimate with the details concerning the infection stages.

Pippen says he was with the Mallers, but not WITH them. What does that mean and how did a Brit end up with them in the first place?

It'll be pretty hard to be a mole when they know he's a maller. It'd be hard to be sneaky when everyone has an eye on you.
I think Pippen is going to be more of an asset to the tower than a liability. He'll be able to give them intel on what is going on with the Mallers.

I am a little confused about what happens in this episode, can you help me out? Two things:
- if the arm is stuck in the tanker Lizzie & Co are in, how comes they notice its length and color and everything just when it's dropped on the ground? I mean, it was in the car with them. Also "Get out of the car" "the arm is on my way" doesn't make sense to me . You open the door and the arm falls out, done.
- what happens at the arena? they planned to detonate the tankers or did they have a bomb? The first doesn't make sense to me as they are actually inside the tankers and it would be suicide, the second doesn't explain then why they bring tankers and not something smaller and nimble.

I love this role that is developing for Bricks... Either Tar will be dead or severely pissed when they come to and all the mallers have abandoned them. So either Tar tries to attack/rape Lizzie again and Bricks defends her or Bricks goes with Lizzie back to the tower protecting Lizzie the entire time ripping zombies in half with his bear hands.... either gaining Saul's trust or his enmity.

@Crowbar How did a Brit end up in LA? It's a big city, lots of different cultures, its not far fetched that he's british.

@J0be
I don't think he's a slow turner, because if that was the case then a scratch or an open wound would have been mentioned. He's covered in bruises but bruises wont turn you. He just seems like a good way to wrap up the mole issue.

You know if the whole raping thing hadn't happened, I would have liked tardust, He's kinda growin on me, him and bricks are just like pinky and the brain, except the brain rapes people... and pinky kills zombies

The only Brits I ever see are on vacation..er, HOLIDAY and not expats. LOL. Ok, so I'll buy that for a dollar.


Clem131.. I think the damn arm was still moving while they were driving.. i think! it still trying to get them would have been creepy. LOL.
